Well if it is these are the cars that use the same brake lamp switch so possible donor for the wiring connectors and could use the switch and dissemble and use the connector only to build the lead.

So I know this reply is too late, but I figured I'd still show what I found.


Solid dark green wire on the brake pedal harness plug...


Found a similar dark green wire in the ECU harness plug....


And this may be the same wire further down the harness leading into the firewall...



Anyway, long story short, I think you're right @FastEddie , I bet the brake snip wire is that green one on the brake pedal harness plug. I'm considering going to my nearest junkyard for a donor plug to make a custom harness; but, I really have no idea where I'd find a suitable female connector. Maybe the female end attached to the brake pedal assembly is able to be disassembled...

 

[Toddasaurus]

So, looking at the lists of other cars that use the same switch, I'm unable to find a nearby junkyard that has a compatible donor, not finding anything newer than 2009...

Here is a list I found of cars that use the exact same plug/switch.




I am sure there are other harness plugs that will fit, but I have no idea where to start looking. I really think it's possible to fabricate an extension harness complete with a switch, which results in a brake snip without having to cut any wires. I'd just have to figure out where to source the connectors.

Attached is a diagram of the brake switch, along with the price for a new one.

Well I’ll say the brake snip is def starting to help me. Just a couple tries and got a good chunk of improvement. Hopefully a full burn out and prepped surface will help improve this

 

[Toddasaurus]

Well, I found how to get the connectors, but it ain't cheap. Haha.

Picture of the wiring harness side plug...



Picture of the male and female variants of each plug available online...






And the cost of ONE female plug is $120. And the male counterpart, $125!!! FOR ONE PLUG!!! Haha. Ridiculous!! If I could find them for even like $10 a piece, I'd totally be down to make some extensions complete with a switch and sell them. But at this price, nope. Haha. Not worth it to me!

 

[Beefer]

^ OMG...why so much?!?! Any way to find cheaper replicas?

They don’t look much different than the fuel wire plugs. Meaning...no embedded electronics...just a f’ing plug

That is freaking insane. But this would be a real game changer if it could happen. But it looks like a complete adapter would be in the 300$ range

Almost as fast as I am in my G80 sport....almost, lol

More like DA problems you’d be so fast at sea level

lol it would be my luck sea level would get me more power then id just spin haha

A couple drag radials would fix that right up. Unfortunately not really a daily thing. How do other big power rwd cars put that power down? Go wider? You can’t really go stickier for a street driven car

ya true. all those big high hp rwds are running like a 315 or wider and if on a track probably a bias ply. get that big wrinkle going to hook.

I was actually faster before the brake snip.

what were the connector numbers? I can check with our connector guy and see if he can get them cheaper

 

[Vortex951]

I’m getting it figured out for sure. Just gotta get my car down to sea level now and see how strong she is then

PM sent!

Here we go!

View attachment 26646

Yeah!

Now compare with launch control?

And then 91-93 octane? Haha.

 

[Vortex951]

Ya throw a little higher octane in and use lc then you will for sure be quicker than that.
